Major trade unions are rallying against new government guidance that mandates single-sex facilities be based on sex at birth, not gender identity. Unison, NUS, and Unite call the rules unworkable and ideologically driven, warning employers are already ditching trans-inclusive policies. The NUS is mobilizing students with posters and inclusive sports teams to resist the policy, while medical and academic unions join the chorus of criticism. Advocacy groups counter that the unions are sidelining women’s safety, especially survivors of male violence. The government insists protections for transgender people remain intact under the Equality Act, stressing the guidance is meant to preserve safe spaces like women’s refuges — and will enforce compliance if needed.
